What questions we usually get about legal services
Can JF Shabangu Inc assist me with the transfer process?
Yes. Our team specializes in property transfers, bond registrations, and conveyancing. We handle the legal process on your behalf, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
Why should I use an attorney for property transfers?
Property transfers involve strict legal processes, compliance with government regulations, and accurate documentation. Using a conveyancing attorney ensures that the transaction is legally secure and protects both buyer and seller.
Can I transfer property if I still owe on my bond?
Yes. The existing bond will need to be cancelled, and either a new bond is registered in the buyer’s name or the buyer pays cash. Your attorney will guide you through this process.
What happens if there are delays with the transfer?
Delays may occur due to outstanding municipal accounts, bond approval issues, or Deeds Office backlogs. Your attorney will keep you informed and work to resolve any obstacles quickly.
Do both buyer and seller need their own attorneys?
Not necessarily. The buyer usually appoints the transferring attorney, but the seller’s bond cancellation is handled by the bank’s appointed attorney. In some cases, multiple attorneys may be involved.
